An anthropologist, who was studying the Xhosa culture with a tribe in South Africa, was The Laurel Bank in Broughton talking to a group of children from the tribe. He suggested the following game to them. Tea Room Bistro Bar He placed a basket full of fresh fruits under a tree. He then organised a race and said Tel: 01899 830462 to the children that whoever reached the basket first in the race would be the winner of the basket of fruits. As he gave the signal to begin the race, the whole group of children held hands, and ran together and then sat down together and enjoyed the prize together. He asked them why they had done it that way, especially when there was the possibility that one of them could have been the winner and had the whole basket to themself. The children replied: " Ubuntu"-- how could one of us feel happy while the rest are sad and unhappy?” In Xhosa culture the word “Ubuntu” means: “I am, because we are." 3 I thought about “Ubuntu” recently while reading about the charity Childline, which has Things seen a steep rise in the number of children contacting the charity about loneliness. In fact in the last year the charity delivered over 4,000 counselling sessions just on loneliness. The What happened is, we grew lonely youngest person to call with the problem was just 10 years old. living among the things, so we gave the clock a face, What has prompted this increasing sense of loneliness among our young people? Some of the chair a back, the children said that watching their friends socialise without them on social media made the table four stout legs them feel friendless. I was surprised to discover that according to the Office for National which will never suffer fatigue. Statistics young people in the UK are more prone to feeling lonely than any other age group. Childline’s founder Dame Esther Rantzen recently said, "Loneliness needs to be taken We fitted our shoes with tongues seriously because it is potentially damaging to children's physical and mental health”. as smooth as our own and hung tongues inside bells Research by psychologists from the University of Pittsburgh suggests that more than two so we could listen hours of social media use a day doubled the chances of a young person experiencing to their emotional language, social isolation.

I don’t want to bash social media. Luddites the bottle a long, slender neck. like old king Canute never succeed in turning the tide of progress. It is possible that young people who initially felt socially isolated turned to social media. Or it could be that their Even what was beyond us use of social media somehow left them feeling isolated from the real world. was recast in our image; Whatever the cause of loneliness, the cure is literally staring us in the face every time we gave the country a heart, we look in the mirror.

Emotions like loneliness, envy and feelings of inadequacy have an important role to play in life; they are big flashing signs that something needs to change. Maybe it is time we stopped staring at our screens and started looking into each other’s eyes, started talking to the person on the other side of the dinner table. Maybe it is time we stopped posing for idealised pictures and started engaging in real conversations with real people in our real neighbourhoods. Maybe what we need to nurture more of in Upper Tweeddale is the ethic of Ubuntu, “I am, because we are." I close with a reflective poem by Lisel Mueller called Things, that I think captures some of the essence of what ails us.

It is largely the fruit of many pleasant hours of botanising by the author and a few others and as such reflects their particular interests. History of Plant Recording Peeblesshire is thinly populated and has had few resident botanists to record its flora. Also its upland terrain held little in the way of dramatic features or geology to attract outside botanists. Consequently the first list of the county’s flora with any pretension to completeness only became available in 1925 with the publication of the History of Peeblesshire (Eds, JW Buchan and H Paton). For this FRS Balfour and AB Jackson provided a chapter on the county’s flora which included a list of all the species known to occur. The first records were made by Dr A Pennecuik in 1715. He gave localities for 30 species and listed 8 others, most of which are still to be found. Thereafter for some 140 years the only evidence of interest is a few specimens in the national herbaria and scattered records in Lightfoot (1778), Watson (1837) and The New Statistical Account (1834-45).

  • The Upper Tweed Community News Issue 77 June 2017 Tractor Tours to Primary Schools of the Borders
    £ 0.70 The Upper Tweed Community News Issue 77 June 2017 Tractor Tours to Primary Schools of the Borders The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) arranged for a tractor to visit every primary school in the Scottish Borders on the 9th of March. The tour was organised by RHET’s Scottish Borders Countryside Initiative (SBCI). RHET SBCI had the use of 10 tractors kindly donated by tractor dealerships in the Borders. These tractors visited each primary school on the day, and were seen by over 4000 children. Rose of Lamancha provided a Case tractor for all the pupils in Peeblesshire to see, kindly driven by RHET volunteer Kate Rowell from Hundleshope Farm. The morning started at West Linton school, with the P1, 2 and 3 pupils joined by the nursery children, to send the tractor on its way. It then headed to Newlands and Broughton, where the children and teachers had dressed up as farmers and animals to welcome the tractor. Both schools also made generous donations to RHET SBCI. The tractor then went on to 6 further primary schools in Peeblesshire before all 10 touring tractors gathered in Newtown St Boswells’ auction mart. Pupils asked some great questions throughout the day, including “How tall is the tractor?”, “How big is the engine?” and “How fast does it go?” There were also some very challenging questions from a few of the children from farming backgrounds. Following on from the tractor tour, RHET SBCI are producing a fundraising recipe book showcasing the great food produced in the Borders. Many schools have provided RHET SBCI with fantastic recipes, and Ally McGrath from Osso Restaurant in Peebles has kindly supplied some of his tasty recipes too.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

The writer was invited to walk over the farm with Mr Lorimer who did indeed point out sites without record and also the monuments that had been recorded. The farm, like the other areas of Upper Tweeddale has a rich legacy of upstanding buildings, covering a range of periods. That visit was one of the reasons for the present research of the archaeological sites and monuments of Upper Tweeddale. To facilitate a survey, Mr Lorimer sketch painted a view of Logan, depicting the sites he knew about. This was presented to the writer and is produced here for the first time. Sadly, Andrew Lorimer did not live to see the outcome of what he desired. However, this survey of Upper Tweeddale, the land he loved so much, could not have been reproduced in the form it is, without a generous grant from the Andrew Lorimer Trust. The writer acknowledges that essential support and is grateful to the Trustees of the Fund for their confidence in the outcome of this work, of which the survey is the first phase.

    £ 0.70 The Upper Tweed Community News Issue 70 September AWARD AFTER A LIFETIME OF SERVICE An MBE was awarded in the Queen’s Honours list in June to Fiona Hamilton, community transport organiser East Scotland, for services to the British Red Cross Transport Service. This follows the award in 2011 of the prestigious Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK for outstanding work done in their local communities. Fiona has written of her life in serving and volunteering: ‘I was introduced to the Red Cross where I was brought up in Macclesfeld at the early sge of fve when VADs (voluntary aid detachment), as they were known then, practised bandaging in our lounge. Apparently l gave them a cup of tea if they were early! Around that time, the war was on, and l recall a feet of black ambulances driven by the VADs dressed in their uniform suits taking patients wherever they needed to go. There was a story of a psychiatric patient on his way north and when the ambulance developed an oil problem. He nipped out, fxed it and they went on their way. A few years on there followed yearly collections on Boots corner when l was under age and chaperoned. Later still l was involved in serving tea to blood donors whilst they relaxed for twenty minutes before returning to work. The Red Cross organised Mrs Fiona Hamilton quarterly blood sessions which were very busy. Looking back l remember an impressive number of VADs marching down the Main St each year proudly lead by their Commandant and admired by the crowds, a sight not seen for many a long year.
